Why is learning in later life so good for you?

Taking up new skills and exploring new interests in later life has huge benefits:

* Creates connections - learning together is the perfect environment to form new friendships with interests in common.

* Boosts brain health - keeping your mind active helps improve memory and cognitive function.

* Builds confidence - picking up a new skill can give a
real sense of achievement and purpose.

* Spark joy - learning for the joy of it is fun!!

Whether it’s art, languages, sport, technology or history, explore the benefits of lifelong learning first hand with u3a.

Sinkholes!

U3a member Bettine Scott-Grindrod will be talking about sinkholes, which can occur rapidly with little or no warning.

The talk will look at some recent examples and what can be done to reduce the risk to communities.

Some risks are inevitable because of poor planning and the dramatic increase in population in certain areas.

Come and learn about some of the world’s largest sinkholes.

All welcome!!!

Refreshments are available.

When: Friday 30 May 2025 [14:00-16:00]
